"The River" lyrics

Driftwood Choir (Ed Prosek & Portair) Lyrics

"The River"

I've been moving backwards
Feels like I've been here before
I hear it calling to me
Another door revolving
Shipwrecked here upon the shore
Will I wake from this dream?
All this weight I carry
From all these versions of myself
Now it's time to come clean

So you jump in the river
Cause you can't live without it
And the tide draws you deeper
And it chews you up and spits you out
So you jump in the river
And it's all unfamiliar
You give in to the water
And it chews you up and shows you how
To float
This is how you learn it's time to let go

Where's this place I'm going?
Who's the face that's looking back?
I see it ripple and change
Are we ordinary?
Are we missing something here?
Oh, it's time to come clean

So you jump in the river
Cause you can't live without it
And the tide draws you deeper
And it chews you up and spits you out
So you jump in the river
And it's all unfamiliar
You give in to the water
And it chews you up and spits you out
So you jump in the river
Cause you can't live without it
And the tide draws you deeper
And it chews you up and spits you out (woah-oh-oh)

So you jump in the river
Cause you can't live without it
(Chews you up and spits you out, woah)
And the tide draws you deeper
(Chews you up and spits you out, woah)
So you jump in the river
And it's all unfamiliar
(Chews you up and spits you out, woah)
You give in to the water
And it chews you up and shows you how
To float
This is how you learn it's time to let go
